There are a lot of different theories out there about why so many people find it such a difficult task to lose weight.

Here’s my theory – I think it’s mainly because people don’t want to engage in long, boring and frustrating workouts that waste their time and leave them feeling drained. Well here’s the good news – what if I told you that there were some fun activities that I have discovered that you can do that will help you to lose weight while you are outside enjoying the great outdoors?

1. Surf the waves – As you probably already know, surfing can be an extremely physically demanding activity. If you don’t have any previous experience with surfing, trust me, you will have a hard time trying to stand up the first day you are out there.

It’s a very good idea to learn how to surf because not onloy are you going to have a great time but it is also associated with a wide array of health benefits.

That way you can simply think about riding your bike a something fun to do with one of your friends. If you are thinking about it a simply having fun with a friend then there is no chance that you are going to see it as a frustrating activity. The best part is that you be burning calories and losing weight in no time flat (that means a very short period of time).

But every time you complete a climb, you will have just burned off a tremendous amount of calories.

Researchers have actually studied this and discovered that gardening has the potential to burn hundreds of calories within just a few minutes. The best part is that you will likely not feel tired right away, as you probably would if you were exercising in the gym. I don’t know what your experience will be exactly, but I always feel very energetic and have a lot of stamina when I am growing my own fruits and vegetables in my garden. Gardening will also encourage you to eat fresh food and stay away from junk food that will make you gain weight.

5. Grab a kayak – Kayak rentals are extremely inexpensive and kayaking is one of the best methods I’ve identified for losing weight at an accelerated pace.
